Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1421778" data-attributes="member: 196898">Metformin is probably the safest drug used in treating diabetes, and it forms a good foundation for building up a personal portfolio of meds that will help you sort out your bgl problem.  There are many drugs that your GP can prescribe, and they work on different mechanisms, and have different side effects and risks.  You need to discuss these options with your GP or Diabetes specialist.  This site has discussions on most of these meds and/or their plus and minus points, but as you will discover, we all react differently and what suits me may not be good for you.If you can tolerate Metformin, it has many benefits other than lowering bgl, and it protects the heart among other things - so keep it up if you can,  It also helps to smoothe out the bgl spikes you get after eating.</blockquote>
